Heavily Test-based Scholarships?

Besides automatic merit scholarships at schools and the obvious National Merit program, anyone know of any scholarships that rely strongly on test scores?

I have a 36 on the ACT, and will be a national merit finalist for sure this year. Haven’t taken the SAT yet, but standardized testing is my (only) talent.

Scholarships from schools themselves. But usually only if coupled with a 3.5+ unweighted GPA. If you have both pieces, you’re in a position for multiple automatic full rides, no other qualifications needed.

Hopefully your talent extends to getting good grades as well. :slight_smile:

Most big national scholarships are very competitive and usually look at more than grades and test scores and often have a need component as well.

Your best bet is applying to the schools that offer full tuition or full ride to NMF.
